A Word To The Squeamish
Some of our readers will be of¬
fended by—some will condemn us
for—some of the health articles we
publish from time to time in this
paper. We admit that some of these
articles do not make fastidious read¬
ing. Some hit where they hurt. But
they are needed. The present genera¬
tion can profit greatly by the knowl¬
edge and advice contained in these
articles. Helpless, future generations
are entitled to them. They are pre¬
pared by the State Board of Health
and are following up the work insti¬
tuted by the United States govern¬
ment along the same lines, d*
Of course, anyone who does not
think that he or she and his or her
children and other people and their
children, or the race as a whole, are
entitled to as much protection in
point of health and good breeding as
the average farmer gives his hogs,
need not read the articles. The pro¬
gressive reader, however, will agree
with us that there are some
which, while not pleasant to. read
about, should be printed and read.
The Honesty of Advertiiing.
(From The Commerce Observer.)
Richard H. Lee special counsel
the Associated Advertising
said recently that 97 per cent of
advertising in the United
could be'depended upon as
He also made the statement that
per cent of the products of
industry are marketed through
results of advertising.
A false or exaggerated
ment hurts the public, hurts the
papers, and hurts advertisers.
fellow who publishes an ad that
can’t back up gets into very hot
ter, and is far worse off than if
had kept quiet. On fake throws
credit on a score of honest
ions.
With this sentiment prevailing
mung all sensible business men, it
would be strange indeed if any con¬
siderable proportion of advertising
matter was found to be lacking in
truth.
O
w rong Attitude Toward Government.
The Free Press has been observing
for thirty years a woeful tendency
among our people to disrespect and
disregard the government under
which we live. This disrespect lias
been produced by men who do not
understand and appreciate the great
freedom which we of the fair land
are permitted to enjoy. They do not
seem to realize that liberty, abused,
soon produces anarchy.
In some Georgia papers we see
references to the President that
would h^ui a stranger to believe our
country is being governed by a thief
or a muderer. Some of the men who
write these scurrilous articles are
themselves public men. In the name
of heaven, what are we coming to.
Are we going to teach our children to
disregard and disrespect our country
by talking and writing in this strain
about our public men? Is ft not time
to call a halt? Had we not better a
thousand times that’the other man
of the other party win the election
than that we undermine the very pil¬
lars of our government by sowing in
the minds of the young suspicion that
all our public men are corrupt?
May the God who guided and di¬
rected at the birth of this free na¬
tion silence our tongues and .para¬
lyze our arms when we start to
speak or write anything that would
sow the seed of anarchy in the
minds of any American.—Alpharetta
Free Press.—Commerce Observer.

FRIENDS
A short time ago a London news
paper offered a prize for the best
detinition of “A Friend.” Among the
many thousand answers which were
received, the one that was awarded
the first prize was:
“The first person who comes in
when the world goes out."
The second prize was given to the
definition sent in by a small boy, who
wrote:
A friend is a feller who knows all
*
THE LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT V ALLEY, GEORGIA
about you and likes you just
same."
Both of these definitions
worthy of thought.
How many times has every one
needed a friend “when the world
goes out” through the death of a
loved one, the wreck of business or
the failure to achieve’ one's most
cherished desires! In those moments,
many whom we have considered to be
our friends have' forsaken us.
the loss of money our so-called
friends have melted away. With the
decline of power and position those
who have flattered us and made us
believe that their friendship would
be everlasting, are found among the
missing. It is on those occasions that
the first person who is ready to lend
a helping hand, to breathe a word of
consolation in our sorrow, be he
acquaintance of a day or of a life
time, is a true friend.
In these days of rush and hurry, of
moving from place to place as busi
ness or other requirements may die
tate, we may make many
ances, but few real friends, and as a
man or woman advances toward mid
die life the chances of making new
a nd tried friends diminish. It is those
we have known since childhood, our
schoolmates, our college chums, our
first associates in business who are
our staunchest friends. Never in the
glamour of the new, who come to us
with fair words and specious prom
ises but who fade away like morning
mists before the sun when storms of
adversity arise, should we let go of
an old and tried friend.
Shakespeare knew the value of an
old friend when he worte:
“Those friends thou hast, and their
adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy*soul with hoops
of steel."
Yes, the old friends are the best—
the “feller who knows all about you
and likes 'just the same. »> The

LAW ENFORCEMENT
(From The Adel News.)
Sunday evening the school audi
torium was .crowded to its capacity
hold the audience assembled to hear
the program which had been arrang
ed for a union meeting tending to
ward the improvement of the citizen
K hip of county which through its lax
enforcement of law has gotten a low
rating. Sandersville Progress.
As stated ., these cold ..dm i i’,t
week, the lax enforcement of the
is in a large measure resi>> isib!V* el*
the crime wave which has s'.vepl ‘in'
country, Unless the people o c G**or
gia and the other States stand un
compromising^/ for,law and order
there is no telling where it wi 1 curt,
It is entirely too easy for the guilty
to escape. We are probably no worse
than other parts of the country but
there are dozens of unaven¬
ged murders in New York and chica
go and other great cities does not ex¬
cuse us in the least. There were a „
dozen men scheduled to hang in
Chicago a week or two ago and only
two paid the penalty. The outlaws of
New York murder several every week
or two and very few are punished. It
is high time the whole country.
North, East, South and West was be

GREAT RALLY AT METHODIST
CHURCH SATURDAY NIGHT
At a meeting of the board of the
stewards Monday night there was
general rejoicing over the success of
the church this year, and it was de¬
cided to have a great rally Saturday
night to report to the membership of
the church what has really been ac¬
complished.
This meeting will be not only a
thanksgiving and praise service, but
will furnish our people with a social
hour to get together. Refreshments
will be served, there will be some in¬
teresting talks and some gratifying
reports. This meeting will be held on
Saturday night because the pastor
leaves for Conference at noon Mon¬
day. Everyg member is urged to be
present.
The Conference meets this year at
Moultrie, and Bishop W. A. Candler
will preside. Many preachers and lay¬
men will pass through Fort Valley
Mdnday and Tuesday on the way to
Moultrie.
Farmers of Manatee County, Fla.,
this year will store sweet potatoes on
an extensive scale for the first time,
due to the work of their county
agents. Because of the difficulty of
obtaining proper storage, tt formerly
was a common occurrence for farm¬
ers to ship their potatoes to northern
markets or canneries within a short
time of harvesting, and later find
themselves compelled to purchase po¬
tatoes by the 3-pound can at several
times their original market price. A
community storage house with a ea
pacitiy of 10,000 bushels has been
erected, and farmers have space al¬
lotted where they can placepheir po¬
tatoes and take them out at will.
Red Cron Fir»t Aid
(From The Talbotton New Era.)
The railroad wreck near Talbotton
last September brought most
bly home to the people of this
munity the great value of if'
Cross chapter engaged actively in
promoting the various phases of
Red Cross peace-program.
The wreck happened, as it were,
of the blue sky,” yet the
, were given aid right quickly and ef
j ficiently Woodland, at our where neighbor the Woodland city of
j
i branch of the Red Cross chapter was
j Likewise, on the job the with Talbotton timely chapter assistance,
was
ready to extend help had the victims
been brought here.
! It may be that we shall not have
another wreck of this sort in this:
neighborhood for years, yet the need
! for a strong Red Cross chapter 1s an
every day need. For the Red Cross is
designed not alone to meet disasters
affecting whole communities and
many people, but to help solve the
troubles of the individual and the lit
tie problems that beset us every hour.
Red Cross First Aid is a subject in
point. Knowing what to do before
the doctor comes may save your life
or your neighbor’s life. An automo
bile accident, a cut finger, a dose of
poison taken by mistake—these are
things that may happen to any one of
us. What a wonderful thing then it
would be, could Talbotton’s people,
old and young, include so many grad
nates of Red Cross First Aid classes
; t hat we would never have an accident
without someone near at hand that
i knew what to do!
Home nursing is another thing the
| Red Cross teaches of inestimable
value. Life saving is another. And
. these are all in addition to health
work, civilian relief , care of soldiers
and sailors, and attention to their
families and the families of ex-ser
vice men, which, with many other
activities, are included in the peaee
time program of the Red Cross.
Such a program is within reach of
every chapter—a program with any
or all of these divisions—when the
chapter has the loyal support and
help of the people oi its community.
Let us give the Red Cross and lal
botton chapter such support in the
Fourth Red Cross Roll Call,
•o
. ; Invariably we find that thi* fellow
who makes the biggest ado about
“freedom of speech and freedom of
the press,” and votes accordingly, so
he thinks, is the fellow who con
demns the strongest the newspaper
that publishes, or reproduces an a r -
tide that is not exactly in accord with
his political views. We meet with fair
exam pies of this every now and then
in persons who either discontinue or
threaten to discontinue their paper
on account of something they see
published that does not blend with
their political foretop. We would ride
a greasy mule at a circus before we
would be dictated to by those
demand “freedom of speech aiui free
dom of press," for ME only. Fact is
they believe in free speech no strong
er than we do, but the difference is
we allow the same privileges to the
other fellow that we appropriate to
| ourselves, Butler Herald.

Cooperative marketing has re¬
sulted successfully for the cattle and
hog growers of Craighead County,
Ark. Cattle formerly sold at $3 to $6
a hundredweight under St. Louis
markets, and hogs at two to seven
dollars per hundredweight below the
market. A carload of 94 hogs was
originally collected and shipped thru
the activity of the county agent and
brought from five to eleven dollars
above the local price. Local buyers
are now paying approximately the
St. Louis price.

Keep Your Blood in Good Condition

HEALTH
No Need to Take Chances with It.
Pepto-Mangan Makes Rich,
Red Blood
When you first feel a tired, all-gone
feeling and look pale, your blood is
losing in quality. Weak, impoverish
ei 1 blood has no power to fight dis¬
ease. It takes red blood to keep you
well.
If you keep your blood in good
condition it will fight off disease.
.
You will not be such an easy prey to
long and expensive sicknesses. With
thin blood you take chances every
day.
There’s no need doing that. You
can take Pepto-Mangafi and build up
rich, red blood. With red blood you i
are able to win in the fight against ;
prevailing diseases. Try Pepto-Man-j
Mangan. It comes in tablet or liquid 1
form. Take either kind. The tablet 1
has the same medicinal value as
liquid. But be sure you get the genu
me Pepto-Mangan. Ask for “Cude’s” i
and be sure that the name “Guile’s
Pepto-Mangan,” is on the package.

comotives with their tenders
have a combined weight of
520,000 pounds, wnich is more
than twice the weight of what
was considered the monster
passenger engine of a few
years ago.
THE DESIGN of these big
engines has been worked out
in the greatest detail, and they
are provided*with every device
for safety; as well as comfort
to the operators and efficiency
in operation. They use super¬ t
heated steam, have power op¬
erated reverse gear and grate
shakers, compound air pumps,
mechanically operated stokers,
electric headlights and the la¬
test safety appliances.
THE USE of these heavy en
gines has resulted in a very
uniform train operation, and
consequent satisfaction to
travelers.
